Let n be a natural number. L.H.S and R.H.S will be natural number. Therefore n should be a square number. Let √n = x then the equation can be rewritten as
x 2 != x 4 + x 3
x 2 ( x 2 − 1 )!= x 3 ( x + 1 )
( x + 1 ) ( x − 1 ) ( x 2 − 2 ) != x ( x + 1 )
( x 2 − 2 ) ! = x − 1 x
As x is a natural number L.H.S and R.H.S will be natural number.(except at x=1 as 1/0 is not defined.)
x/x-1will only be natural when x = 2 therefore n= 4.
